TuyaOS Development

Built on top of the RTOS, Linux, and Non-OS, TuyaOS is a distributed and platform-agnostic IoT operating system.

Overview

Backed by the TuyaOS kernel and various development components, TuyaOS is designed to tackle the heterogeneity of platforms, systems, protocols, and applications in order to enable quick and reliable integration, interconnection, interoperability, and compliance. The tiered and plug-and-play architecture design allows you to quickly tailor a development framework based on your hardware resources and use cases hence reducing the cost of development with high cost performance. Tuya’s proprietary things data model and software bus allow all TuyaOS-based products to be interconnected. For more information, see What is TuyaOS.

TuyaOS architecture

• TuyaOS Kernel Layer: It is designed and defined with the principle of the least dependency and provided to the developers in the form of TuyaOS APIs. The kernel provides a stable, reliable, and consistent environment to run the upper-layer software.
• TuyaOS Abstraction Layer: It abstracts away all the details of system services, connectivity protocols, multimedia, and security capabilities. Simple and standard methods are offered for service requests.
• TuyaOS Libraries Layer: It provides middleware that is independent of specific service implementation.
• TuyaOS Services: It provides application development services in the form of scenario-specific service subsystems.

TuyaOS development framework

The following table lists the TuyaOS development frameworks. The releases of the SDK specific to each development framework are updated on the Tuya IoT Development Platform. Some SDKs are not generally available currently. To download the SDKs that are not generally available, log in to the Tuya IoT Development Platform and submit a service ticket with information about your account and the chip platform you use. Tuya will provide you with access to the requested SDK. Then you can download it on the Tuya Wind IDE.

Development process

You can download the required TuyaOS development framework on the Tuya Wind IDE. The following diagram shows the development process.
